The Damsel and the Dragon: Seven of Stars

As a child, Linandra spent many hours slaying monsters and having adventures. So, when faced with a future containing little in the way of excitement (but plenty of cereals) she gathered up her courage and set out into the world. It soon turned out that becoming a dashing hero - or any hero at all - wasn’t as easy as the stories made it out to be; if someone’s garden was, say, infested with weedrats, they sought to hire a mercenary, not a waif off the streets. Now on a journey going nowhere, when Lin comes upon an old barn, all she’s really looking for is respite from the cold. But this is a place which holds more secrets than it does hay and Linandra soon finds herself dragged into the lives of wizards, cleaning-ladies and other, even stranger, folk. Much to her chagrin, this also includes Setharrion, who is trying very hard not to let his own past catch up with him.She’d spent years looking for a second chance. Now it had found her. Only, it wasn’t like anything she’d ever imagined… She was, however, very grateful that it didn’t eat her.
